96 Chapters, 6 book reviews. I don't have anything to say. [Shocked] This book is well written. I have read 5 of the same books. The writing style is the same. I think it gives people the same feeling. I think it is a long story. The long story is good. If I write a short story, I really can't substitute it. I like it very much. It's like there is a fog covering it at the beginning, but gradually I can see the road clearly. In other books, it feels like the road is clear at a glance. I think the identity of the protagonist is quite novel and rare. Most of them are directly the prince and prince, and the son of the prince. Princes are quite rare. I haven't finished reading [Petrochemical]. Come on, come on! Come on!
This is a female comic book. If you don't mind, you can leave it. If you don't mind a change of taste, you can read it. It's quite interesting [laughs evilly]. I thought it was a court story after reading it for a long time, but I didn't see the vertical and horizontal twists and turns of the previous dynasty. I only saw the troubles of the three dynasties in the harem.
I read it in one go, it was so good, it would be great if it was finished. The writing is smooth and the storyline is coherent. I prefer reading about father-son relationships, which is quite to my taste. Although the plot before losing my son is a bit sadistic, the rest is sweet.
It's really great, I especially like the protagonist, what a holy grandson [like] [like] [like] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] When will Mrs. Tang and her family seek death [laughing and crying]
It's okay, but it was a bit frustrating in the early stage, but it got a lot better in the later stage, and it looks very smooth. Keep up the good work. I'm now very curious about how the father and son came to power. After all, they have already said that they will become a vassal [Thinking][Thinking][Thinking]
Although it was a bit rough at first, it's overall good And there isn't much written about intrigues and intrigues. Instead, I use a positive and optimistic writing style to record every bit of life and discover the beauty and small blessings in life.
Very good. The writing is concise and the plot is interesting and reasonable. It is a rare IQ online article on Tomato. I don't understand why the data is not good. I hope the author can stick to it.
It's very fascinating, the plot is very interesting, and the characters are very full. I really feel for our Li Zhuo. The author's writing is very good, with the wanton humor of ancient juvenile novels, and the shortcomings of the family (a bit heart-wrenching)
The writing skills are good, the characters are vivid and vivid, the language is fluent, and the storyline is compact. The characters of the three generations of Li Chun, Li Yan, and Li Zhuo are particularly well described. Why is the score not high? Recommend it
This book is really good, even my character's character is quite likable. Especially the story about the love between father and son, Sun Qingran, is very funny and dense. It really makes people laugh when watching it. The emotional line of the protagonist in this article is still relatively small, so it can be read as a non-CP. But the protagonist is a prince after all. There is a woman that everyone likes but there are very few descriptions of it. She is married, but she is still relatively dedicated. Well, when the protagonist was relatively depressed at the beginning, he had two very good brothers. Later, after regaining his identity, you felt that there was no limit to him, and the protagonist was really favored.
